The Raafidah are not our brothers, rather they are the brothers of the Shaytaan!

Question:

“May Allah be good to you. This one says: Some callers and students of knowledge say when speaking about the Shia and the Raafidah: “indeed they are our brothers”. Is it permissible for us to say that and what is the befitting in that regard if it is not...”

Answer:

“For Allah we free ourselves from them and for Allah we free ourselves from this speech. They are not our brothers. By Allah they are not our brothers. Rather they are the brothers of the Shaytaan! Because they, because they insult the mother of the believers ‘Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, the wife of the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), whom Allah chose for his Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam). (‘Aisha) As-Siddiqah the daughter of As-Siddiq (Abu Bakr). And they declare Abu Bakr and ‘Umar to be disbelievers and curse them. And they declare the companions to be disbelievers altogether except ahlul bayt, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, although they are the enemies of ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib. ‘Ali frees himself from them, may Allah be pleased with him, is free from them. ‘Ali is our Imam and not their Imam. The Imam of the people of Sunnah and not the Imam of the filthy Raafidah (Shia). And for Allah we free ourselves from them and they are not our brothers. And whosoever says indeed they are his brothers then let him repent to Allah and seek forgiveness from Allah. And Allah the Majestic and Mighty has made obligatory upon us the disassociation from the people of misguidance and loyalty to the people of Iman. Yes.”
